Words can’t express how amazing Cronin Hill Photography is. My husband and I both agree that choosing Rick and Paula as our photographers was the best wedding planning decision we made, and we can’t imagine our wedding without them.

First of all, Rick and Paula are just such wonderful people. They are kind, funny, and they both have a calming presence, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day. They were so much more than photographers; they eased our anxieties, kept us organized, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, including helping zip up bridesmaid’s dresses and tie groomsmen’s ties.

On top of being wonderful people, Rick and Paula are fabulous at what they do. They are efficient and effective so that you don’t spend hours and hours cheesing for the camera, but their photos are still beautiful (everyone who sees our photos agrees). Plus, you get so much bang for your buck. For a very reasonable rate, you get two photographers for your entire wedding weekend (plus an engagement shoot beforehand). They were there for the rehearsal and welcome party on Friday afternoon and from breakfast until the sparkler send off on Saturday. They captured every moment, and I am so grateful because I can go back and relive the best weekend of my life whenever I want. While I could keep going on and on about how great Rick and Paula are, I’ll sum it up by saying that Cronin Hill is simply the best; we cannot recommend them enough."

"i cannot put into words the amount of love my husband and I have for rick and paula. they truly are amazing and worth every single penny. they put so much time into everything and love what they do. they made my day so special and I will forever be grateful for them. i will be recommending them to everybody. we love you two! ashley + joe"

we're in love with the recent review we received from emma and greg, thank you so much you guys!

"last weekend rick and paula from cronin hill joined us at the trailside inn in vermont for our wedding. we loved rick and paula and were so happy that we chose them! our wedding was a 3-day event, with a welcome party on friday night, ceremony and reception on saturday, and group brunch on sunday. rick and paula were there to capture it all, and even made sure they got up to vermont in time for the run-through of the ceremony on friday at noon. i was initially drawn to cronin hill because they offered coverage of the whole weekend, unlike some others who only committed to specific time blocks. after a lot of research, they were also one of the most affordable options we found for the same price that other photographers charged for one afternoon/evening, we got multiple days worth of photos and two photographers! the fact that rick and paula work as a pair helps make them extremely efficient, especially during formal photos, while one of them is adjusting equipment, the other helps get everyone in position. this really helped cut down on the time we spent posing and allowed us to quickly move on to the fun stuff! it was also great to have them both there to capture all of the candids and make sure nothing was missed. rick and paula blended in seamlessly and were not in-your-face about taking pictures...in fact, for most of the time we forgot they were! the pictures turned out amazing, and one of our favorite parts of the weekend was the "sneak peak" slideshow they put together and had showing during sunday brunch. everyone loved seeing a sample of the amazing pictures they had taken on friday and saturday and the room was full of laughter and "awws" reliving all the moments that were captured. even our guests commented to us on how awesome the photographers were. the pictures really highlight all of the joy and love that was felt throughout the weekend, and we couldn't be more pleased. rick and paula were a true joy to work with, and we hope others get to experience this as well!"​

there is nothing better than starting your day with inbox love! thank you jamie and scott :)

"words can not fully express how wonderful rick and paula of cronin hill photography are!! right from the start with our engagement photos they made us feel so comfortable. my husband is not always a huge fan of the camera but felt relaxed from the first shot until the last. they pay attention to every important detail and by the time of our wedding there was absolutely no stress on us because we knew that rick and paula were paying attention to every detail. on our wedding day they not only felt like friends but family too!! we knew they would always be there to catch any shot we wanted but at the same time they stayed in the background catching it all without us knowing. when we saw our photos it really confirmed they are not only great people but truly wonderful photographers!! the color and details of the photos was exceptional. they also found so many cool and interesting poses that didn't feel like we were just seeing the same old shot over and over again. they exceeded our expectations and truly captured our love through their lenses. if you want great professionals to work with and peace of mind that you will love your photos then cronin hill is the only photographer you should contact. they are worth investing in for your memories. we can't wait for our next opportunity to work with them again."

more inbox happiness :) a recent review from our october bride hayley!

​"i cannot recommend cronin hill photography enough! both rick and paula were fantastic to work with. my husband loathes pictures so this was a sensitive area, but they made him very comfortable and never were awkward or in the way during the wedding festivities. we both are in love with our photos. they covered everything i asked for and had a great eye. they were extra amazing by having a slideshow during our brunch on sunday so our guests could have a sneak peek before they left. we truly can't wait to work with them again. great photographers and great people in general!!"

“there’s a bond that’s eternal when you get married,” she says of the song, which is about the love spouses share. “that’s one of the feelings we have. it’s like, ‘we did it. we’re here. we’re still going strong. we’re still standing!”

months back, rita posted a call-out to fans on facebook to submit their wedding videos and photos. she ultimately incorporated many into the lyric video.

“the fans really made the greek wedding movies,” wilson says of their inclusion. “i just thought it was a way to give back, in a sense. ‘how could i thank you for your support? well, maybe your picture will go into this video.’ you can’t really ever show your thanks one hundred percent, because you don’t know everybody — but this was a small token of thanks for everything they’ve done for us.”

with over 40 photographers, ages 2 to 11 years of age, you can just imagine how difficult it was to judge the photo submissions. some of the criteria used to determine the winners were composition, subject matter, technical camera use, what went into making the image, and overall likability.

for the second year in a row you embraced the “old school” challenge of taking photographs without actually seeing the results. unlike the smart devices and point-n-shoot cameras we use today, to us, that’s just incredible! we can’t tell you how excited we were to develop the film and see what you all created. we are proud of you all!

​please know each and every one of you made this project truly special, we can’t thank you enough.

lastly, thank you to the crew of hubbubfor planning, organizing, and executing such a wonderful event to be enjoyed by all. once again, it was an amazing experience and we loved working with each and every one of you!

a special thank you to sarah and emily for all your coordinating and efforts, we appreciate it more than you know.
